The Challenge
The size of the company can span the globe, and it’s impressive if all of their sites are connected on a single platform. Now add the sea into consideration: where weather and the state of the environment are unpredictable. Konkat faced the challenge of their MarTime segment being supported just as well as their onshore locations. How to manage communication, have connectivity, take care of their people: enter HCL Domino.
Konkat started with nothing. They needed an IT and mail infrastructure, something adaptable and reliable, preferably easy to manage. But when we talk about those days, we’re looking back 25 years, “The company at that time was trying to create unification with the vessels and the onshore, procurement applications, integrate the ships, undisrupted communication no matter where they were. HCL Domino is the unifier.”
The Solution
There is a suite of solutions offered by HCL Domino: Sametime, Notes, Leap; and the most beautiful thing, they’re all able to be implemented with other solutions. Konkat has their mail and application ecosystem/base and applications themselves with integrated backends with frontends, giving them all the power and peripheral tools. Data from Notes clients with LN and BI ecosystems. This team is ahead of every curve and provides constant engagement with their properties.
“Workflow is the engine with all its workflow capabilities, we appreciate that it’s robust. HCL Domino is one of the oldest applications development platforms, but it’s the full system from adhoc. Certain applications today even cannot be recreated with such precision due to how the engine works. It gives us the kind of things that we require to do what we do.” Also named as a huge sticking point: rapid development and ease of use.
“We tried to change for various reasons, mainly for the application ecosystem built around the platform, which you cannot achieve with multiple servers – we created ALL of this on ONE server.”
The Results
Let’s talk about solid relationships: HCLSoftware has an established 25 years with Konkat. HCL Domino has yielded more than 100 applications – client and web together – providing real-time communication and undisrupted application connection.
Together: Konkat and HCL Domino-suite have revolutionized their MarTime presence. They’ve created a supply management application connecting their vessels, their inventory, and requests through the ERP system, no matter if they’re on-shore or off. “The data comes in through the ERP system and data staging happens no matter if it’s on-board or on-shore. Application supply management using the supply inventory from the vessels, the vessel submits a request for food or materials, that request comes into ERP, requisition comes through the application module built on Workflow procedure and SQL database – ERP evolves the notes and receipt and it provides a full supply cycle. This entire process involves all of the platforms, provides real-time and constant feedback and communication, and allows everyone to function cohesively.”
We’ll be there evolving and innovating with Konkat, their vision is also HCLSoftware’s future. 25 years strong.
